Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1223 - 1222: Stop Joking With Me

For a time, the internet was flooded with these comments, and Xu Ke, who didn’t usually pay attention to the entertainment industry, had no idea. However, when Jiang Na saw it, she was particularly angry because she could tell her best friend had a special liking for Xu Ke. If her best friend saw them, wouldn’t it break her heart?

Hastily, she had her assistant bring her phone over and personally called Xiao Keyi, who was in front of her dressing table removing her makeup. When she heard this, she was somewhat furious.

"This is utter nonsense. Those fans will say anything they catch hold of. Nana, you shouldn’t feel bad about it. By tomorrow, I’ll speak to that kid Xu Ke. That guy is like a toad wanting to eat swan meat; it’s impossible."

After hearing Xiao Keyi’s words, Jiang Na chuckled. Her best friend, indeed.

Obviously, she fancied Xu Ke but pretended otherwise. However, she didn’t mind poking through this layer of pretense for her friend.

"I’m here to explain to you, not to Mr. Xu Ke. Mainly I’m worried about any misunderstandings between you two, so don’t let this cause a rift."

After hearing this, Xiao Keyi’s face turned red, putting down her makeup brush, feeling embarrassed: "I say, Nana, stop joking with me."

"We are merely colleagues, don’t overthink it. Besides, I’ll treat you to dinner this weekend."

After the call, Xiao Keyi immediately opened her phone. Seeing the comments, she was infuriated that someone would talk about someone she cared about so much in that way.

Perhaps someone like Xu Ke, who doesn’t browse his phone often, has no clue about what’s going on. Thinking of this, Xiao Keyi felt somewhat relieved.

But seeing those comments online again made her feel aggrieved for Xu Ke. How could they say such things? Xu Ke wasn’t trying to cling on to anyone; it was merely a normal partnership. Yet, the words from those people were truly harsh.

"Xu Ke the toad wants to eat swan meat. First, he wooed the Xiao Group’s eldest daughter, then Jiang Na. He’s just a kept man."

"I think he’s just trying to step on those two to climb up. That Xu Ke is no good; it’s such a pity for my goddess."

Seeing these words, Xiao Keyi felt indignant and quickly straightened her chair, sitting down to confront them directly using her own account.

"What gives you the right to say that about him? We’re just in a normal business collaboration. Are you upset because you don’t have the skills?"

Seeing Xiao Keyi confront them personally, some people slightly restrained themselves, after all, this was the Xiao Group. But the majority didn’t hold back—after all, Xiao Keyi, the eldest daughter of Xiao Group, didn’t really have any relation to them, ordinary people.

Seeing people attacking Xiao Keyi one after another, Jiang Na, who had already gone to bed, was infuriated when her assistant handed her the phone. Her best friend had been barely comforted, and now these people were bashing her again, which was truly excessive.

So Jiang Na posted a Weibo, explaining that it was just a collaborative effort, but those people remained unreasonable, apparently just keyboard warriors online. No need to let them get under your skin.

After talking for a while longer, they both went to sleep.

The next morning, Xu Ke, finally guided by Secretary Zhou, found out about the news. Regarding these netizens, he found them extremely boring.

Meanwhile, in Yang Meili’s office, Yang Meili clenched her fists. She had set up Lan Tian, but someone was still using him. It was clearly opposing her, Yang Meili. So, as she looked at her Weibo, a smile curled on her lips.

"Who is right or wrong in this world, really? Is it truly so unjust?"

Yang Meili’s fans were naturally unclear about the situation, always particularly sympathetic towards their idol, believing that any issue must mean their idol had been wronged.

"Meili, don’t be afraid. We’re always behind you, as for those villains, justice will be served."

"Indeed, our Meili is the best in the world and shouldn’t be bullied. Let’s head to Xiao Group’s Weibo and attack them for using the washed-up Lan Tian. They’re not respecting our Meili at all."

"Exactly, what is Xiao Group even thinking? It’s disgusting. Not using our Meili—well, we’ll sort them out."

After all, Xiao Group is such a huge corporation that even a female star like Yang Meili envies them, making it all the more infuriating.

Meanwhile, Yang Meili’s assistant handed her water with a look of fear on their face, as Yang Meili would lose her temper when things didn’t go her way.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Yang Meili swept all the cosmetics off the table onto the floor, causing the room to go silent. No one dared to speak; those cosmetics were newly bought by the makeup artist and were top-notch, costing thousands and tens of thousands if wasted.

And Yang Meili wouldn’t reimburse them; the makeup artist had to handle it themselves, which was really tough. For other female stars, makeup artists might at least get a tip or find other opportunities.

But doing makeup for Yang Meili was just a loss of makeup or direct financial loss. Few makeup artists in the industry were willing to work with her.

Furthermore, before every makeup session, Yang Meili required a new set of cosmetics, refusing to use ones that others had touched, always extraordinarily picky.

The makeup artist’s face was ashen, wanting to say something, but a person beside them pulled them back. Growing more and more infuriated, they eventually stood up.

"Yang Meili, even though you’re a big star, do you know how much these cosmetics cost? You swept them on the floor, and the crew will soon start filming. What should I use to do your makeup?"

Upon hearing the makeup artist’s words, Yang Meili grew more furious. She stood up from the chair and pushed the assistant next to her before slapping the makeup artist across the face.

Sharply, she said, "A set of cosmetics? Did you bring garbage to put on my face? Do you know how much my face is worth? If the cosmetics aren’t enough, just go buy a new set! Why aren’t you always prepared? Is all this my fault? It’s your preparation that’s lacking."

The makeup artist, covering their inflamed cheek, felt an overwhelming sense of anger, wanting to retaliate against Yang Meili, but several people had already stepped in between them.

"It’s always about the cosmetics. My entire monthly salary is spent on this, yet it’s still not enough because you purposefully damage them."

The makeup artist felt utterly wronged, stepping back with eyes full of rage.
